To solve this problem we must resort to the Work Theorem, internal energy and Heat transfer. Summarized in the first law of thermodynamics.
Where,
Q = Heat
U = Internal Energy
By reference system and nomenclature we know that the work done ON the system is taken negative and the heat extracted is also considered negative, therefore
Work is done ON the system
Heat is extracted FROM the system
Therefore the value of the Work done on the system is -158.0J
a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:
where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:
b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:
where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,
Answer:
Explanation:
Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion
here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m
then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m
so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute
then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement
so here total displacement is given as
total time is given as
so average velocity is given as
